DESCRIPTION:
Dr. Charles Schlesinger is a veteran implant dentist and long-time OsteoGen user who brings both clinical expertise and genuine enthusiasm to the topic of bone regeneration. This conversation between Dr. Schlesinger and Dr. DiTolla explores OsteoGen’s Bioactive Crystal Technology (BCT)—a non-sintered, synthetic calcium phosphate graft that promotes true osteogenesis rather than simply acting as a space filler—and how it differs from conventional xenografts and allografts. Dr. Schlesinger discusses the clinical simplicity of OsteoGen’s membrane-free protocol, shares outcomes from more than a decade of use across plugs, strips, and blocks, and explains how the material’s radiolucent-to-radiopaque remodeling progression helps guide implant timing with greater confidence. The interview is designed to inform and inspire Inside Dentistry readers considering a more bioactive approach to socket preservation and bone grafting.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the key differences between Bioactive Crystal Technology and traditional grafting materials such as xenografts and allografts.
- Describe the clinical workflow and advantages of using OsteoGen, including membrane-free socket preservation.
- Evaluate how OsteoGen’s remodeling and radiographic characteristics support improved healing and implant timing decisions.
